• CSR filed

Hi,

 I've been in love with the girl for a year and approached her parents for permission to marry her. They rejected me after several attempts. They also filed a complaint about me such as harassing her at the police station in May 2024. They issued a CSR and warned me.

Will this affect my passport or background verification for my IT job?

- As per the Allahabad High Court, parents have no authority to interfere with the decision of consenting adults to marry or live together.

- If you both major age, then her parents have no legal right to interfere in the consensual marriage. 

-  Your girl friend can lodge a complaint against her parents for the same. 

- Since, there is only a complaint and no FIR , then it will have no affect in obtaining a Passport or certification done by the Company.

A CSR means

A community service register is a register maintained in every Indian police station for a non-cognisable offence. If the offence is a cognisable offence, then a First Information Report (FIR) is created and registered. A CSR is also called a daily diary report or diary report.

Therefore you need not be worried about it until the police proceeds with further process by registering FIR

It would not affect your passport or background verification as no FIR has been registered against you

Hello, 

  1. No, this won't affect your passport or background verification for your job as it was only a complaint and no FIR has been registered against you. 
  2. It is advisable to avoid pursuing your interest in the girl directly as this can lead to more serious consequences including filing of FIR which will impact your career and life.

Dear Client,

A Community Service Register (CSR) entry is typically an informal record used by the police to document minor complaints that do not necessarily warrant an FIR (First Information Report).

  1. Impact on Passport Application: During the passport application process, police verification is conducted to check for any criminal records. A CSR is not a criminal record rather it is more of a preliminary complaint record. Unless an FIR has been filed and legal proceedings are initiated, a CSR entry alone should not impact your passport application.
  2. Impact on Background Verification for IT Job: Most companies, especially in the IT sector, conduct background checks that include criminal record verification. Since a CSR is not a formal criminal charge, it typically does not show up in standard criminal background checks. However, if the company’s background check includes detailed police records, the CSR might come up, but it is unlikely to be a major issue unless it escalates into a formal charge.

Should you require any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

It's not a cognisable offence and will not affect your passport or background verification for your IT job.
